SUMMARY:AI: Chat GPT & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:AI is Here\nArtificial intelligence is no longer science fiction. It is here\, and it is changing fast. ChatGPT and other AI tools have seemingly come out of nowhere. Yet in just a short time\, they have become part of everyday life. From writing and research to art and customer service\, AI is everywhere. It is taking the world by storm\, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing down. \nIn this engaging workshop\, we will explore what all the excitement is about. We will begin by looking at ChatGPT and other widely discussed AI technologies. You will see how these tools work and why they have captured so much attention. Step by step\, we will examine real-world examples. You will discover how people across industries are already using AI in creative and practical ways. \nBut we won’t stop there. After exploring the present\, we will look toward the future. What could these tools mean for the workplace? How might they change the way we collaborate\, learn\, and problem-solve? We will discuss both the opportunities and the challenges. AI can boost productivity\, but it can also raise new ethical and social questions. \nDiscussing the Ethical Implications\nThroughout the session\, you will be invited to share your own perspectives. What excites you most about this technology? What concerns do you have? Together\, we will speculate on how AI could reshape not only jobs but also communities\, education\, and culture. \nBy the end of this workshop\, you will walk away with a clearer understanding of today’s AI landscape. You will also gain insight into the questions that experts\, workers\, and everyday users are asking right now. Most importantly\, you will feel prepared to think critically about how AI may influence your own future. \nThis seminar is produced by Mike Gershbein with VSP Chicago:\nMichael Gershbein\, Founder \nWe are your Chicagoland group and in-home tech tutors! \nhttp://www.VSPChicago.com \n847.204.2916 \nFacebook  X  LinkedIn
